One other thought: The article that Patrick referenced implies that you
could enable directed broadcasts. The default on modern routers is no
directed broadcasts but you could disable that. It's not recommended for
security reasons, but if you want to do it the command is "no ip
directed-broadcast."

But you have to find out what the server or whatever is sending to wake up
the stations. You are troubleshooting in the blind until you find out what
it is sending.
Is it an IP packet?
Is it a UDP packet?
Is it just a MAC packet?
Is it a broadcast? At the MAC and IP layers?
